Approximating the Minimum Number of Maximum Power Users in Ad Hoc Networks
Topology control is the problem of assigning transmission power values to the nodes of an ad hoc network so that the induced graph satisfies some specified property. The most fun...

Quadratic programming relaxations for metric labeling and Markov random field MAP estimation
Quadratic program relaxations are proposed as an alternative to linear program relaxations and tree reweighted belief propagation for the metric labeling or MAP estimation problem...

Lifetime Maximization of Monitoring Sensor Networks
We study the problem of maximizing the lifetime of a sensor network assigned to monitor a given area. Our main result is a linear time dual approximation algorithm that comes arbit...

An improved constant-time approximation algorithm for maximum~matchings
This paper studies constant-time approximation algorithms for problems on degree-bounded graphs. Let n and d be the number of vertices and the degree bound, respectively. This pap...

Submodular Approximation: Sampling-based Algorithms and Lower Bounds
We introduce several generalizations of classical computer science problems obtained by replacing simpler objective functions with general submodular functions. The new problems i...
